Leadership for Sustainability

Leadership for Sustainability designs and delivers immersive leadership development programmes with sustainability at their core. We provide powerful learning opportunities that develop leadership capability, focus on real business challenges and increase the capacity of organisations to do business that has a positive impact in the world.

Our goal is to facilitate and coach in a way that helps leaders increase their own wellbeing while making a positive impact in the world and creating workplaces, communities and societies where both people and the natural world can flourish.

Leadership for Sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals

We offer workshops for leaders to help them understand and integrate the SDGs into their business operations. We are also currently working on the design of learning material aimed more broadly at employees in organisations to raise awareness of the SDGs and help them to connect the SDGs with the work that they do. You can find out more about our work on the SDGs here.
